Tuesday

Tuesday was day 2 of the camp.  We started out by playing some dodge ball.  A drumming group came and performed for awhile and a preschool came out to watch too.  They were really good.  After they played the kids got a chance to play the instruments as well.  Then a circus group came and performed.  There were two clowns and an acrobat.

After camp Christian took us down the hill to a vegetarian buffet.  It was only 2,500 pesos and the food was really good.  I had this thing that kind of reminded me of falafel but it was like fried carrots or something.

Then we laid around for awhile and had to take our test.  I thought I did pretty well.  As usual I was the first one done.  I don't know why that always happens.

Later we went down the hill because we were supposed to see a flamenco performance.  When we got there they didn't know when it was starting and the place didn't have any food and we were all starving.  We went to this pizza place and I don't think I've ever been happier to eat something.  It was American pizza (not weird Chilean pizza) and it was exactly what I've been wanting for the last week and a half.  After eating we went back to the place and they told us we missed the first performance and the second would start in 15 minutes.  After 45 minutes it didn't start so most of us went back to the bed and breakfast (it was already after midnight).  Chileans are not known for their sense of time.

We took the Collectivo home which is a cab service that's kind of more like a bus service.  It's got a certain route that it follows and it doesn't go until it is full.  The guy drove crazy.  The hills are steeper than San Francisco and the guy drove sooo fast.
